For the past 26 years Joel Tuoni has spent his time coaching girls basketball and softball at various high schools throughout the state.
He has been in charge of both programs at South Kingstown High School â his alma mater as a graduate of the class of 1982 â for the last decade but as Tuoni said by phone Tuesday morning, âlifeâs about changes.â
